OH alg for this zbll and its mirror?
Setup: R U R' U R U' R' U2 R' D' R U2 R' D R2 U' R'
Don't really like that inverse...

From BindeDSA's ZBLL list:
(U) R' U2 R' D' R U2 R' D R' U R' U R U2 R'

This is what I use for two handed and OH:
T case: R' U2 R' D R U2 R' D' R' U R' U R U2 R'
U case: R U2 R' U' R U' R D' R U2 R' D R U2 R

Setup: r U2 x r U2 r U2 r' U2 l U2 r' U2 r U2 r' U2 r' u' R U R' F R' F' R u

Can I please have an algorithm that solves the last 2 edges and preserves EO?

R U' F r U2 r U2 F2 r F2 l' U2 l U2 r2 F'

Set up to a 2-cycle on U, swap, undo EO-affecting part of the setup. You can replace the moves between F and F' with any parity L2E alg you prefer.

I'm pretty new to cubing, and am working on memorizing PLL algorithms. I know the U-perms, H-perm, and Z-perm, and I am currently memorizing T-perm. What other PLL algorithms would be useful to learn?

Honestly all of them, which I'm sure is not the answer you're looking for. The G-perms alone account for almost a quarter of the total probability of PLL cases. But they are tough to recognize and remember, which is why many people end up learning them last.

If I had to pick three more on top of what you said, I would say Y perm, Ja perm, and Jb perm

That's kinda what I thought, as it makes since, but I just didn't want to memorize the harder, rarer cases first. Thanks.

I use the Yau method on 4x4 and frequently come across a case where there a 2 unsolved edges... How do I solve this case fast?

Why would this happen specifically for Yau?

MR2 B2 U2 ML U2 MR’ U2 MR U2 F2 MR F2 ML’ B2 MR2

 

[One Wheel]

MR2 B2 U2 ML U2 MR’ U2 MR U2 F2 MR F2 ML’ B2 MR2

Isn't that a parity alg? That should flip a single edge, not two.

 

[Chiggen]

I mentioned Yau because the algorithm I already know messes up part of the cross.

Check this out: https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/threads/special-yau-last-2-3-dedges-algorithms.38421/

I typically just use something to the effect of slice-flip-slice back.

What I meant by 2 unsolved edges was that I was on the final 3 edges in 3-2-3 edge pairing but there were 2 unsolved edges rather than 3. The alg I use is: d R F' U R' F d' R U' F R', but it is very slow and I am looking for a new one. The two unsolved edges are in the front right and front left slots when i perform the algorithm.

Thanks I didn't know how easy it was

It's just an OLL Case, if it's not parity so M U M U M U M U2 M U M U M U M

Hey i have hard times finding a good alg for this OLLCP(could be nice if it was RUL/RUD)... how to set it up: y perm. r U2 R' U' R U R' U' R U' r'


Edit:
Never mind found a solution... setting up to 2GLL.

I would do EOCPLL like you suggested in your second post, but how about (y2) x' U' R U' R' U2 R' F r U' R U2 r' x?

 

[TheoLyh]

feels pretty nice Ill try both out and see which one is fastest...
Now another request
OH N-perms...The only PLLs I cant sub 3. ive tried looking through many algs on Cube explorer but cant find a good one... so does someone has another alg than just the standard one.

I found:

R U2 R D R' U' R D' R2 F' U F R U' R'
F U R' D' R U' R' D F' R U2 R U2 R'

Need an alg that twists 2 centers on a super-skewb, and one that twists 4. Sledge*6 is not fast or efficient at all.
